“With the busy schedules my husband and I have, we use Melissa weekly for recurring walks. She is great about picking up extra walks when we need, so our fur baby has some consistency with all traveling I do for work. Bruno loves her and I love the peace of mind she gives us! Thanks Melissa for all you do!”
About: I have 4 dogs that I’ve owned for 5 years now. I adopted two of them as puppies, so I potty trained them and taught them how to sit, lay down, walk off-leash, etc. I adopted my other two as adults, but I did train them how to walk off-leash as well. I care for them every single day, which includes feeding them on the same schedule every day, walking them, playing with them, bathing them when needed, taking them to the vet when needed, cleaning up after them to ensure a healthy and clean environment for them. I’m currently a college student who is out of school for the summer, so I am available 7 days a week at all hours of the day! In my client’s home, I will complete any task they ask of me in the way they ask to do it, as I completely understand that certain dogs need certain routines and strategies. I respect my client’s homes and the way they operate their home lives, and will do all I can to ensure their pets are happy and healthy.
About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover offering personalized walks right here in our neighborhood. Whether you’re at work, running errands, or just need an extra hand, I’m here to make sure your pup gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I treat every dog like my own. I’m experienced with everything from high energy puppies who need a bit of leash training to sweet senior pups who need a slower pace and extra care. I’m reliable, patient, and always put safety first on every walk. Pet care is my main focus right now, so it fits perfectly into my daily routine! ( I’m on summer break as I work as a special needs aide) so I’ve set aside this time specifically to care for pets in my community, which means I’m flexible, dependable, and fully present for each walk or visit. Whether it’s early mornings, midday walks, or evening check-ins, I’ve got the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I currently care for pets in my apartment/ clients’ homes. I do prefer to care for pets in clients homes as I want to ensure each pet has the space and comfort they’re used to. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to stick to their regular routine; feeding times, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I always keep things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same love and care I’d want for my own.

About: Over the years, I’ve found myself drawn to caring for animals in small but meaningful ways. Whether it’s walking or playing with a family member’s energetic dog or simply offering companionship, I’ve always found fulfillment in their presence.What I may lack in professional dog care experience, I make up for with genuine attentiveness, patience, and affection. I understand how important it is to build trust with pets and their humans, and I’m committed to creating a safe, loving environment for your pets. As someone who’s cared for my aunt’s cats—including administering medication and tuning in to their unique personalities—I bring that same level of thoughtfulness and care to my work with dogs. As someone who works from home full-time, I have a flexible schedule and the freedom to work from just about anywhere—making it easy for me to prioritize your pet’s care. Whether it's a mid-day walk, potty break, or weekend with the owner's out of town, I can be present and attentive to assist you in caring for your pet's needs. Work with my schedule and I can work with your's. When providing services in your home, I will treat your space with the same respect and care I give your pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with someone entering your home, and I take that trust seriously. With a patient, compassionate approach, I aim to create a calm and safe environment where your pet can feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for. As well as ensuring that the guidelines you provide are followed.
About: I love dogs. I have had one Doberman, one mutt who was the best, and two English Mastiffs. I had a dog everyday of my life until five years ago when my 200 pound English Mastiff named Max died. It broke my heart and hasn't felt right to replace him. But I love dogs and cherish watching the relationship people have with their dogs. I say hi to every pooch on the street that I pass. Rest assured, your dog will be treated with the utmost friendliness and care imaginable. I work from home so your dog will always have a friendly companion around. I work from home. I'm home basically all the time. And other than that, I just work on landscaping my front and back yards. I have a fenced in yard. Your pet is in great hands. I work from home.

About: I love dogs and started volunteering at an animal shelter on the northside. This entailed feeding the dogs, providing enrichment time, taking care of their bathroom habits, and training them. I'm patient and understanding with animals and people alike! I'm currently in a transition phase with my career, so my schedule is flexible. This will give me time to play and take care of your lovely dogs! I don't currently own a dog. However, I'm familiar with taking care of dogs in a city environment and happy to explore safe neighborhoods and parks. I know how important it is to be mindful of a dog's behavior and habits. I follow instructions well and will take care of your dog as if it were my own.

“Rial has been caring for Daisy for many months now, she always treats her like her own and shares such good times with her and us. She was the perfect pick for Daisy and we would highly recommend her for any needs you have for your dog. She is like family and you can’t find that easily.”
About: I have plenty of experience with both dogs and cats. I have been working in a dog/cat boarding and daycare facility for a little over a year now. At work, we are responsible for providing individual care for each animal staying with us; we are in charge of providing them with playtime, feeding them, giving meds, and more. Personally, I have had two cats going on about 15 years now, and I have had two dogs (a lab mix and a pit mix) for about five years. I also have the experience of being a dog walker volunteer at a humane society! Right now, I am on summer break and home from school, and I am currently only working a part-time job. On days I do work at my part-time job, I’m usually working from 8-230pm 3-4 days a week, so I will usually be available outside of that time period on my working days. On non-working days, I typically have open availability. Since I am around animals pretty much 24/7, caring for them is part of my usual routine, making me very passionate and comfortable around animals. Unfortunately, one of my dogs is reactive and doesn't take well to new doggy friends, so care at my house would not be possible. However, in terms of staying in the owner's home, I would bring over some toys and other things dogs love, like treats, and I could even bring a splash pad for those who like water! I would make sure the dog is my number one priority and be on top of what their daily needs are. For cats, plenty of catnip and fun will be involved!
About: I have had personal pets for as long as I can remember!! Not only that but I also volunteer at various animal shelters in the Chicagoland area :) In the fall I will be going to college to become a veterinarian!! I’ve had a plethora of different animals and dog breeds throughout my life including ; pitbulls, boxers, shih-tzus and labs just to name a few!! I have my own little dog currently who I walk daily. I also play with and take care of the dogs at the shelter I volunteer at! Every morning I take my dog out of his playpen to completely clean it out. Not only that but I always wipe off his paws and mouth after our walks so he’s not tracking dirt around

Pooja N.
“I'm a family member of Pooja's. She has been working with dogs for a couple years now. She started volunteering at a shelter once a week and then she ended up traveling and house sitting for dog owners a few times. She's great with dogs and they seem to really like her too as she has not had any trouble with the dogs she worked with it or house sat with. They tend to warm right up to her and are calm around her. She cares deeply about the pets and especially about making sure she keeps their owners informed and follows any instructions they give her. She often talks about the dogs she has spent more time taking care of and how much she misses them. I'm sure she'd give your pet the same attention she has given other owners' pets and it would bring her a lot of joy caring for them too!”
